How To Do The Applique
Download the free patterns and print them out, with a pair of scissors to cut paper, cut out all the paper templates.
Place every paper template on the back of each fabric and pin it to the fabric, with a pair of scissors to cut fabric, cut each fabric piece adding 1/4 inch for the seam allowance. Make some cuts are on the seam.
Fold to the back the seam and you can glue the seam on the back or do some basting stitches to hold the seam on the back of each piece.
Lay each block on your work table and lay the bigger pieces for the applique, pinch one or two pins to hold each piece in its place, now you can do the applique of each piece with small stitches.
When you finish the applique of the big pieces on each block, remove the pins and make a cut on the back of each piece on the block fabric, cut out the fabric of the block from each appliqued piece, always leave 1/4 inch for the seam, remove the paper template.
Continue working on the applique of the rest of the pieces, follow the same steps.

When you finish doing the applique of all the pieces on each block, you can do the Blanket stitch on each block on all the pieces, with one strand of embroidery floss in dark brown or gray.
